Stretchmarks. 2007-07-20 10:49:13 Reply

So, I've had these two red stretchmarks on my stomach for about a month now. They're about six inches above my waist. They don't hurt, but I don't know how they got there. They're about 12 inches long each, and they just came out of nowhere. I'm not a woman, and I'm not pregnant, so this is definately strange.

Help?

Don't worry about it, it's just un-painful growing pains. I have 'em on mah back.
People used to see them in P.E getting changed and were all "what the hell are they?" lol.

If you're overweight, or recently lost a lot of weight, you usually will get a few stretchmarks. I have a few on my back because I've lost 15 pounds over the past 2 months.

In the past 2 years I lost 40 lbs :), and this summer total I lost 10 lbs. Yeah, stretchmarks appear if you're overweight or lost a lot of weight. (I went from a size 44 to a size 34 in 2 years :))

Not lost my friend. GAINED. Stretchmarks are caused by the body growing faster than the skin around it, ie, URFATK?

All the redness goes away if you lose weight. I used to have them pretty bad, but now you can't even see the scars. Yay for me losing 100 pounds, eh? Now (no kidding) I spend all my time playing speedmetal and drinking in bars. Before I lost the weight: LOLINTARNETS.

See my point?

Congrats! Losing weight in America is actually easy if you put your focus on exercising and stuff. I'm getting DDR for my birthday (so that will help)

Losing weight feels awesome. I can fit in tons of clothes that used to be really small for me :).

Only ever seen 'em on my exwife's belly.
Something about getting bigger inside faster than the skin can grow/stretch outside.

I have loads of them on my back. I think it's either something to do with a growth spurt, weight gain or your posture.

I'm fairly sure it's because of a growth spurt in my case, but it could be my back being stretched by the way I lean in my chair.

They'll fade in time, so don't worry about it.

I'm sure it has to do with my terrible slumped posture, but I don't know if I'm gaining or losing weight.
